RIT Grace Scraper

This utility scrapes through the contents of all user folders on Grace (the RIT web server) looking for files. As opposed to attempting to visit the web site over the web and spidering the pages, navigating the directories directly proved to be much more useful and powerful.

The application need to be run on Grace itself, and could probably be quickly configured to work on other web servers too.

The first version of this application is also provided - it scraped the RIT web server's public traffic logs looking for images and inserted them into a database.

RIT SIS Query

A simple Perl library that you can include in your code to connect to the RIT SIS web interface and download course information. Was utilized in the original RIT Schedule Maker.

The documentation included in the library itself is fairly straight forward. At some point I hope to convert this to a proper OO module and upload it to CPAN.

RIT SIS Account Query

This Perl library can be included into your code and utilized to authenticate against the RIT SIS web site and acquire current course information, amoungst other items. There are still many features that I would've liked to have added to this library, but as it is it should work, to some degree.

Someday I hope to convert this library to a properly written OO module and place it up on CPAN.
